Keep up the good work, Hearthpwn!
Hey, remember that time that this tournament brought out new deck ideas?
Yeah. I don't remember that, either.
See, I told ya so.
That's why there are site's out there (Hearthmind.net) which run tournaments that are meant to not play 'Meta Decks'. They are designed to make you "think" about the deck you are putting together to win.
Go Trump
Pretty good so far. Is it winner takes all?
Entertaining tourney so far.
Always the same clique of players that hold hands above each other's heads. I guess this is how you maintain relevance in a game where RNG is a certain factor.
can't wait to see new decks :)
Someone's salty.
Really hyped for this !!
Can't wait to see the "new" standard decks.
It will be interesting to see the pro players "play" the new format! :D
Just how freaky is this Eloise girl?!? I checked her Twitter account - really, really sad... Selfie queen who went popular because of duckfaces while playing Hearthstone... The world is fucking doomed.
When The Curse Trials were first mentioned, all sets but Classic were allowed. They seem to have changed it, because Standard was announced. In my opinion the original ruleset would have been more interesting.
Oh, good to know. That's really stupid.
Seems a bit premature to do this before the expansion that will actually, y'know, balance out the meta (not to mention the inevitable FoN/Roar nerf), but hey, you get payed $30,000 bucks to be premature! I, on the other hand, have to try and explain this happens to lots of guys....
EDIT: Yeesh... tough crowd :p
ALL with a DRUID COMBO deck.
